There’s no “may be” to it.
Possibly the worst in college football. I don’t know anyone who has been in a conference with the horns that doesn’t hate their asses.

This does not bother me. I am only concerned with being the top 4. Which position 1-4 is irrelevant

Don’t the teams with byes get to pick choice of venue in the quarterfinals?
Being #1 or #2 beats choosing 3rd. Ags in the Cotton Bowl beats the crap out of Cali or Florida.

You are one miserable little pos bitch that’s making this win all the better.

Exactly
And the Arkansas offense will score on them. So will A&M. But that being a rivalry game anything can happen. Texas defense is legit but that offense is absolutely atrocious. Manning isn’t great and he’s scared to death back there behind that terrible offensive line.

Why don’t you just frick off back to the B12. This is a prime example of why no one likes Texas.

Interesting
Nielsen ratings contradict that.

That’s probably Fanduel or Draftkings.
No one really has a clue at this point. Bovada has Texas at +600 and A&M at +1000.

With Arky at +400 though at the most likely spot to win it, there is a play to take 4 teams at equal bet amounts and if Arky wins you break even and if any of the other 3 you choose win, you make money. That’s decent value in sports betting. It’s paid off for me doing that the last few years picking the NC in football. Football is a tighter race though than baseball with less teams likely to win it. Baseball can be about getting hot at just the right time.

I'm picking Aggie to take 2 out of 3, and yes, y'all will be sure to let us know about it. You guys have blue steel right now and we have some adjustments to make on the mound.

The factor that no one knows right now is if the players will relax and play to their ability or be trying so hard they’ll be uptight and not play well. That’s what happened at the beginning of the season. The preseason #1 ranking and expectations were too much for them to handle and they failed miserably. Now they’re finally relaxing a bit and playing well. But this series is different and there are some serious grudges to be settled. That’s a dynamic no one can determine on how it will affect performance.

I wouldn't call two scores a blowout, though. 9 of the 16 BCS championship games were decided by two scores or less. 5 of 10 in the CFP championship. You're never going to eliminate that due to the size and disparity of the college football landscape. But more games means more whittling down the pretenders. Makes for some bad football but hopefully better late round games. 4 wasn't enough but I'll never understand the jump right to twelve.

Scoring margin has actually been more than my post indicated by mentioning 15 points.

22-28-17-28-15-58-21
That’s an average of 27 points for the 7 games decided by 15 points or more

The average point spread for all 10 games is 20

Even if you throw out the 58 point blowout it’s still an average of 15.8 points for the other 9 games.

You do realize that pretty much no one has more money than SMU, so I don't know what you mean here.

Booster wealth doesn’t necessarily equate to TV eyeballs for the networks.
